I've pretty much tried em all, and TURTLE WAX ICE is by far,.... the absolute best I've seen. Plus it can be used on all surfaces vinyl, rubber, weather strips etc. with NO white marks !!!!!
EZ on EZ off, TRY it you won't regret it.

Will Turtle wax ice remove swirles and very minor scratches? I've tried Maguire's and although it's a good product it really didn't work well on the black color.

What has worked for me is a very good cleaning, and drying when your car is very cool and in the shade. Then:

1. Use something like a turtle wax polishing compound to remove scratches and swirls.

2. Then use something like a high gloss maguires or something like that.

3. You should NEVER use dish soap or anything like dawn on your car. It is terrible for the finish and can destroy your look.

4. Just experiment and find what works best for you, and your car.

What Meguiar's product did you try? Most waxes wont remove swirls unless they are a cleaner wax. some just fill in swirls and the swirls will return after the first wash. If you want to get rid of swirls you're gonna need to get a porter cable polisher and #80 speed glaze from Meguiar's or you can do the whole car by hand with scratchX but that is a tall order of work. Scratch X must be used correctly for it to work.
